Sherlock Holmes movie franchise?

Apparently they're aiming for RDJr's new vehicle to be a franchise. Greatest comeback ever for an actor? Rehab, terrible horror films with Halle Barry to Iron Man, playing a black dude, and Sherlock Holmes?

IGN UK got a chance to talk to British actor Mark Strong about the villain(s) in Warner Bros. Pictures' upcoming Sherlock Holmes.

Strong said that Holmes' arch-nemesis Moriarty is in the film, "but you don't really see him. I think he's there because if the franchise carries on, there's a possibility that he will appear in a larger guise.

"But for the purposes of this one and the detective narrative, I'm the guy that Sherlock's after, Lord Blackwood. And he's a cultist/Satanist lord who is the ultimate cad."

Directed by Guy Ritchie, the thriller stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and Rachel McAdams. It opens on November 20, 2009.

Let's see how the first one does before we talk about a franchise, shall we?

But Downey and McAdams...I'm so excited for this.
